ABSTRACT

Reports on an announcement made by Texas Governor Rick Perry regarding his plans to unveil a program for transportation system in the region. Speculations of officials regarding the funding of the program; Role of local government in the plan.

In this article the author ponders on a statement made by a Republican that is associated to the candidacy of Rick Perry as governor in Texas which meant that Texas should remain as Texas in terms of politics, science, and education.

The article comments on Texas Governor Rick Perry's inability to speak coherently about eliminating whole departments of government during a CNBC debate and discusses the mindless denigration of government indulged by the Republicans as pointed out by former U.S. President Bill Clinton in his book.
